As it has been thejcustom ui ine Reeord for several years past to publish letters to Santa Claus from the children of the county, we propose to make this a special feature t ......1,J of next week s issue. **e wuuiu like to have as many letters from our little friends as possible between now and next Tuesday. Necessarily these letters must be short as we cannot handle all that come in if they are lengthy, then again the children should be cautious and not request too much of good old Santa this time, for his lines of wares are scacre and unusually high priced, and this fact may cause the child who requests too much to be disappointed.
